Denise Vasquez Personal Top 20 Highlights for 2010

"I am an artist who creates because it is a part of my being" ~Denise Vasquez

I feel VERY blessed to be living my dreams!

Some people think the life of an artist is glamorous and easy, but the truth is being a full time, indie artist, is a constant struggle...

I can tell you that I pretty much worked 7 days a week this year! I am not complaining because I am truly living my dreams!

Stan Lee said it best when he said "Why would I wait until I retire to do what I love...The work I'm doing right now is what I love!" Amen to that Stan!

Being the best artist that I can be is all I ever known...and it takes hard work! But it's all good & I LOVE what I do, so it doesn't feel like work...My favorite part of creating is my process, and my journey!

So I guess it's been a good struggle! (^.^)

I can honestly look back on this year and see that I really spent every moment, of each day doing what I love which is creating my art utilizing every medium life offered me!

By writing this list featuring my Top 20 highlights for 2010, I can see that every day this year, I've taken more risks! I can see where I made bold choices & where I took chances which opened many doors! I can also see where I left behind rejection or negativity which led me to NEW incredible opportunities! I've learned something new with each lesson, growing stronger and wiser, leading me to stay creative while applying my experiences to my art! So I now as I'm looking back, I'm embracing it all!

Looking back on 2010, I can say I had an INCREDIBLE year filled with many ups & downs...

What a rollercoaster ride!

As I like to stay focused on the positive side of life, I'd like to share with you my personal

From then on, ALL of my encounters with Stan Lee: Being invited to POW Entertainment, being told I inspire them & My Stan Lee figure I created is the background image on Stan Lee’s myspace page…I am Being featured as a guest blogger on his websites…words can not begin to describe how truly honored I am!

12-My Wonder Woman Day Art:Getting word that Pete Marston (son of the guy who created Wonder Woman) won one of my Wonder Woman pieces I created for the Wonder Woman Day Charity auction to put in his Wonder Woman Museum…we raised $16,500 for SAFE in Hunterdon in NJ! I created another piece for the auction held in Oregon…not sure what that one raised, but benefited a great cause! http://denisevasquez.blogspot.com/2010/10/pete-marsden-wins-wonder-wonder.html
